The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Inside the Hongxing Army camp

Wen Daozun stared at Shengluo City not far away and said to Duan Tianyang: "Sir, it seems that Zhou Baiyuan is determined to fight us to the end."

"Ha!" Duan Tianyang sneered and retorted: "Zhou Baiyuan relied on the strong defense of the city and mistakenly believed that our Hongxing Army and the imperial court coalition forces were difficult to shake. I want to see if their bones are so hard!"

He raised his head and shouted, "General Zhao."

"I'm here!" Zhao Xuan responded quickly and bowed.

"Send the order immediately, the whole army is ready to attack the city, and light the signal smoke to inform the princess that we will attack the city with all our strength."

At this time, Yi Shuirou had already joined the imperial army and was commanding its army.

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Xuan responded and quickly conveyed Duan Tianyang's instructions.

When the Hongxing Army, carrying siege equipment, advanced to within two hundred steps of Saint Luo City, the army stopped.

The soldiers then quickly deployed catapults and launched a long-range attack on Saint-Lo.

In this decisive battle with the rebels, the Hongxing Army tried its best and deployed more than a hundred catapults alone. They were arranged in rows, aimed at the city walls, and fired heavy stone bombs.

The stone bullets hit the city wall violently, making a deafening roar. The sound waves were endless, shaking the entire battlefield.

The catapults continued to attack fiercely for about half an hour. Seeing that there were only a few stone bullets left, Duan Tianyang resolutely drew his sword, raised his arms and shouted: "All troops charge!"

The order was as heavy as a mountain. The three corps of the Hongxing Army responded quickly, formed into neat arrays, and marched forward bravely.

In this battle, Duan Tianyang did not stay in the rear, but personally went into battle and led the three corps to launch an offensive against Saint Luo City.

When the Hongxing Army approached to within a hundred steps of the city gate, arrows suddenly rained down from the top of the city wall. From a distance, it looked like a huge black curtain rising into the sky, then drawing a long arc in the air, and falling rapidly with a shrill whistling sound.

Facing this sudden rain of arrows, Duan Tianyang shouted, "Set up the shield formation!"

At the same time, he quickly completed the armor defense and spirit infusion, wielding the black knife in his hand and accurately deflecting the flying arrows.

The soldiers of the Hongxing Army also raised their shields, as if they had built a solid wall to keep the rain of arrows outside the square formation.

The arrows hit the shield, making a crisp clanging sound and sparks flying.

After experiencing this terrifying rain of arrows, although Duan Tianyang tried his best to swing his sword, he was unfortunately hit by three arrows.

Fortunately, his armor was indestructible and the arrow failed to penetrate his defense.

As soon as the threat of the first round of arrow rain was lifted, the rebels' second round of arrow rain came in an overwhelming manner.

Arrows covered the sky, obscuring the light on the battlefield, as if night had arrived early.

Although the Hongxing Army's shield formation was arranged tightly and orderly, it was still difficult to completely block the attack of all the arrows under such a dense and fierce rain of arrows.

During the advance, soldiers kept falling down due to being shot by arrows, and the soldiers behind them quickly stepped up to fill the gaps and ensure the stability of the shield formation.

The overall formation of the Hongxing Army remained intact, but the ground was littered with corpses lying all over the place, their bodies pierced with dense arrow feathers, which was a shocking sight.

The rain of arrows was only the prelude to the rebels' counterattack...

As the Hongxing Army outside the city approached step by step, the catapults inside the city began to roar, and huge stone bombs were thrown over the city wall and fell accurately into the Hongxing Army's formation.

Although the shield formation can effectively resist the attack of arrows, it is difficult to withstand the stone bullets that suddenly fall from high altitude.

Every time a stone bullet fell into the square formation, a series of shrill screams were heard. At least three or four soldiers were ruthlessly affected, their bodies shattered, it was a horrible sight.

Once a flaw appears in the shield formation, a rain of arrows will take advantage of the opportunity to rush in and mercilessly shoot the soldiers at the gap.

If subsequent soldiers fail to fill this gap quickly, the gap will continue to widen and more soldiers will die.

From the continuous fierce counterattacks launched by the rebels, it can be clearly perceived that Zhou Baiyuan had made careful deployment.

He dared to resist under the double attack of Hongxing Army and the imperial army, not without support.

On the battlefield, the three corps of the Hongxing Army left corpses everywhere as they marched. The tragic scene was already shocking before the two sides officially engaged.

Zhao Xuan, who was supervising the battle in the rear, could not help but frown when he saw the rebels' powerful counterattack.

He then quickly dispatched two other corps to reinforce the siege forces and ensure that the offensive could continue.

Duan Tianyang led three corps and resolutely advanced to the city of Saint Luo in the face of the rebels' rain of arrows and catapults.

Everyone quickly laid ladders across the moat and then climbed up the ladders to charge.

However, the arrows from the city walls rained down like rain, dense and fierce. Many soldiers on the ladders were unfortunately hit by arrows and fell into the river with screams.

In an instant, corpses floated on the surface of the moat and the blood dyed the river red.

Despite the serious situation, the counterattack by the Hongxing Army from the arrow tower by the river also caused casualties to the rebels. Arrows from both sides flew across the sky, and screams were heard everywhere.

Duan Tianyang tightly gripped the black sword, wielding it to block the arrows while scanning the situation on the field.

At this moment, many Hongxing Army soldiers had crossed the moat and approached the city wall.

When Duan Tianyang saw this, white mist suddenly appeared around him, and the armor behind him miraculously grew a pair of transparent wings. This was the advanced skill of the armor - armor wings!

He spread the wings behind him, kicked his feet hard, and flew towards the other side.

Just as he reached the foot of the city wall, before he had time to catch his breath, he felt an unpleasant sound of wind above his head, and he quickly dodged to the side.

There was a loud bang, and a huge rock fell from the top of the city. Although it did not hurt him, it smashed an innocent Hongxing Army soldier into a bloody mess.

Duan Tianyang knew very well that the eye-catching wings on his back were like a bright bull's eye, which would easily attract concentrated fire from the enemy.

He found that the soldiers not far away were busy setting up ladders, so he folded his wings, blended in with them, and began to climb silently.

Arrows whizzed down overhead, densely, like a dragnet. Arrows were also flying on both sides, which was daunting.

The soldiers who had been struggling to climb the ladders were unfortunately shot by arrows and fell down one after another.

Duan Tianyang looked up and saw that in just a short moment, all the seven or eight soldiers who were rushing in front of him were killed by the ruthless arrows.

He used his hands and feet and climbed up with all his strength.

However, the arrows from all directions seemed to have consciousness and concentrated their firepower on him.

Duan Tianyang swung the black sword in his hand vigorously, trying his best to resist the dense rain of arrows.

There was a continuous sound of "ding ding dang dang" and rows of arrows were shot down one by one by his black sword.

Arrows rained down like a weaving net, and he was inevitably hit by arrows. Some arrows were blocked by his armor, broke and fell to the ground; while some arrows penetrated the gaps in the armor and pierced his body.

But he seemed to be unaware of anything and his climbing speed did not slow down at all.

Soon, he had climbed to the middle of the ladder.

Just as he was about to continue climbing up, a rebel soldier suddenly appeared on the top of the city wall, holding a large stone in his hand, intending to smash him. Just as the soldier was gathering strength, an arrow suddenly came and pierced his throat accurately...

The rebel soldiers collapsed to the ground without even uttering a wail.

The stone he was holding high in his hand suddenly lost control and turned against its owner, smashing heavily into his head, crushing it along with his helmet!
